Here we go!

I am so excited to actually be started in on the book.  The funny part is, if you have done the reading, you won't even be to the first chapter but there is TONS of great stuff just in the preface and introduction.  Hopefully you guys are as blessed as I was by this stuff.
Food for thought:
Preface - The author discusses "zeal without knowledge".  Consider this problem for a moment.  Have you ever had or known someone that had zeal without knowledge?  What were they (or you) like?  How could you fix this problem in your life?  Now, what about the opposite...any thoughts on knowledge without zeal?

Mr. Moody Meets The Master - Think about Mr. Kimball's actions & his insecurities.  How does his actions compare to your own life when you feel that way?
 - Towards the bottom of page 11, the church's statement, "Is not ashamed to be known as a Christian.  Eighteen years old." about D.L. Moody is profound when you compare it to most of today's society.  

"For whoever is ashamed of Me and My words 

in this adulterous and sinful generation, 

of him the Son of Man also will be ashamed when He comes

 in the glory of His Father with the holy angels." Mark 8:38

...let me hear your thoughts on this verse and Moody's process of coming into the church.  Also, can think of any other scriptures that might go along these same lines?
